Text:	When Israel Was in Egypt's Land
Tune:	GO DOWN MOSES

1 When Israel was in Egypt's land,
Let my people go;
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

Refrain:
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt's land;
Tell old Pharaoh to
let my people go.

2 The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go;
To lead the children of Israel through,
Let my people go. [Refrain]

3 They journeyed on at God's command,
Let my people go;
And came at length to Canaan's land,
Let my people go. [Refrain]

4 Oh, let us all from bondage flee,
Let my people go;
And let us all in Christ be free,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
